OK, So here is the next chapter. I know that this is starting to get a bit dull, but it is all about to pay off, and I really hope you are exited.
Calleigh and Eric were in the lab, looking at some evidence when Ryan and Natalia rushed in.
"There is no need to do that. Our guy confessed because Horatio found some if the shoe lace at the scene, and it belonged to his shoe. There was no denying that. And when we said we found it, he started sweating like a pig, and he got all nervous. I guess he can kiss his girlfriend goodbye for life now. Oh well, she deserves better." Natalia explained as Eric and Calleigh started putting away all the evidence. They were about to put the last thing on the shelf, when something dropped.
"Eric, please be careful. You know that if anything is damaged, they will have to re-open the case." Calleigh warned, one hand on a medium-sized lump on her stomach. It was a habit, and she said she does it to see what kind of mood it is in.
"I never dropped anything. You guys, these packs are sealed." He said, and they heard the door lock. They looked at the door, and saw a man, in a purple shirt, running away. Ryan and Eric ran to the door and wiggled it. Somebody had put something it the lock, something that was going to keep them all in here for some reason. "Everybody, look for the dropped item." Eric yelled, and Calleigh pulled out her cell phone.
"Caine."
"Horatio, it's Calleigh. Listen, we have a problem. Somebody in a purple shirt came in here and locked Natalia, Ryan, Eric and I in the DNA lab. They have jammed something in the lock, so-" she was cut off by Eric yelling a horrid word.
"Bomb! It's a bomb! Everybody down." He yelled, and they all collapsed on the hard tiles.
"Calleigh, Calleigh." Horatio yelled through the phone, which was now pushed away from her body, but she was afraid to move. He could hear everything that was going on in the lab.
"How much time do we have left?" Ryan asked. Eric tilted the small, beeping device so he could see the screen.
"Twenty seconds." Natalia stood up and tried to smash a window. Damn designers, making them tough as steel. They were probably bullet-proof.
Talk about life flashing before your eyes. Calleigh thought about her horrid past with her physio family. Being kicked out of her house at thirteen. Her first experience down in Miami. Stepping off the train and feeling the moist air and the beaches lined across the shore were magnificent. Then she thought about meeting Horatio for the first time, how she thought that they were going to be the best of friends. . .and possibly more if he was as nice as he was on that day. But then, when her eye's fell on Eric Delko. . .she knew that there would never be a "possibly more" with Horatio. She had dated others, most still alive. . some dead. But they meant nothing to her anymore. Now, she had her true love, and her baby. But tears rushed to her eye's when the realization that the baby may never see the light of day... ever, rushed to her mind. The drops flowed down her face and into l a little puddle on the floor.
"I. . .I. . ." She was speaking through the tears. "I love you Eric Delko."
"I love you too Calleigh Duquesne, and don't ever forget that. But I don't want you to talk about that. We are going to make it through this, we all are, and when we do. I want you to be a great mommy, and you two to be god mom and god dad." Eric said.
"We will, but if we don't make it. . .goodbye. I love you Natalia."
"I love you Ryan."
"You guys." Horatio called, but it was too late. Heat and pain ripped through the four of them. They could feel the flames near there skin, but that was good. They were still alive. Big holes had appeared in the glass, and alarms could be heard from all over, as well as people running around the debris. Calleigh felt cool arms wrap around her body, and pulled her into him.
"Eric?" She asked, the fumes burned her eye's, so she was squinting.
"No." As soon as she heard the voice. . . .she knew who it was.
"John?" She asked. She did not care how much it hurt, she opened her eye's and- Wait, it did not hurt at all. . nothing hurt. It was bright. . .but so peaceful. Where was she?
"John. Where am I? What happened?" She panicked and looked down at her stomach. . .flat. "Nooooooo!" She screamed. "I was just at in the lab, with Eric, and Natalia, and Ryan. And what about the bomb?"She was in full panic mode.
"Calleigh. . . when Ryan went to go put his hands up over his head. . he knocked the bomb to you. I am so sorry Cal but you did not make it. You died as soon as the bomb went off."
"WHAT?" She screamed. "WHAT ABOUT ERIC? OR RYAN? OR NATALIA? ARE THEY OKAY? AND WHAT ABOUT THE BABY?"
"Calleigh... your baby is gone. I am sorry. And Eric, Ryan and Natalia. They just got out of the hospital. They are some reason waiting." he said. And Calleigh followed his gaze down. It was amazing. She could see right through the hospital roof, and saw the three of them sitting with their heads in their hands.
"Calleigh?" A smooth voice called from behind her. "Calleigh what are you doing here?" Calleigh turned around and saw her. Marisol. She was as beautiful as ever. They looked at each other for a long time, and then they hugged. "Calleigh, you should not be here."
"Why?"
"Because, Calleigh, you still have another chance at beating this thing. But you have to hurry, they are calling you dead in two minutes. And after that, you are stuck here forever." Mari soothed, and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Will I get my baby back?" She asked, and they both shrugged.
"It's a chance. But if you stay here, the you will never know. And yes, you will be devastated if it does pass... but right now it is June. In August. . .Try again. But please, I know that my baby brother is crying. and so his my husband. He has cried for you Calleigh. You will never know. And Ryan, well, just by looking at him. . I can tell that he is going to go out there and kill himself if you don't survive. And Natalia is going to be an awful, cold hearted person because of losing everybody she loves. She will quit her job, and become an unstoppable killer."
"Why? She loves Eric, and he will still be here."
"Right. Yeah, Eric would be dead in a month due to extreme depression. Come on Calleigh. I know that this is paradise. But you are loved down there. You have saved so many people, and by you choosing to die, you are killing two, just two off the bat. And imagine all the people Natalia would kill." A different voice said. Calleigh looked over her shoulder and saw his.
"SPEED!" She grinned, and ran into his arms. She had been waiting a long time to see them all again. . .and now that she had. . she started to think of not leaving.
"Come on Calleigh. One more minute until the world ends for some people. Now please. We will see you when it is absolutely time. . OK?"
"Umm. . . . .OK, Fine. I love you guys, but there is some unfinished business I have down below, now how do I ge there? And how much more time do I have?"
"Three seconds. They have a timer. Bye Calleigh. We love you. and we will see you again!" They waved and Mari snapped her fingers, sending her back to her body, which was on a metal table, and hurting like hell.
"OK, One more time, and then we call it." One of the doctors said, and the countdown began. "Three, two one." Pain ran through her body, as her stinging eye's popped open wide. White-jacketed doctors started attaching machines to her shirtless body. It felt like sand was in her eye's, and a million snakes were trying to suck the blood out of her legs, arms, and torso. As her eye's scanned the area, she noticed one person. . .Alexx. She looked at her and smiled. And through the pain. . she smiled back. She looked at her belly, and the people monotering it. There was an x-ray, and what ever was in there, was moving.
"My baby," she moaned, and the doctor smiled at her.
"By some miracle... is perfectly fine. But for now, we have to make you sleep." Before she knew it, there was a mask over her face. . .and she was out like a light.
OUTSIDE. . .
"My wife is dead, my wife is dead." Eric repeated to himself outloud. The whole team was sitting in the waiting area, and as the seconds rolled by, the less of a chance her coming out alive was. "I am not going to be able to live my life."
"Eric, you don't know she is dead. . " Horatio tried. . but it did not work.
"It's been 13 minutes! They said that they were calling it at eleven minutes. Face it H, she's gone." He yelled, and Ryan stood up to help sooth him. "I just can't believe this." The team sat in silence until Alexx came out and sat beside Eric. She had a straight face on, and she went beside him, and placed a hand around his neck, and rested her head on his shoulder. She was trying to sooth him too. That was not a good sign. "Just say it Alexx. The soon I get out of here, the sooner I go see my wife in heaven." the team looked at him with wide eye's.
"Eric, you beter not do that." Natalia warned.
"Eric, you guys, by some insane, wacky miracle., we have Calleigh stable, and she is getting put in a room right now. She is fine Eric." Smiles lit up the whole area. "1.8 seconds left until we were going to have to call it. But Dr. Mrez told us to try one more time, and she was right."
"What about the baby?"
"By some wacky, out of this world miracle, the baby is doing fine too. A little hyped up, but that is only going to cause her pain for a couple of days." The team later went into her room.
IN HER ROOM. . .
"Calleigh?" They all called. Her eye's slowly opened, and she saw all the people staring at her, and the surprise pain from everywhere was a shock.
"Where am I?"
"Calleigh, you are in the general hospital. There was a bomb, and you took the hit the hardest. Now we are all in your room, talking to you." Eric said. The sound of his voice soothed her.
"But speed..." That one took Eric and Horatio hard.
"What about Speedle?"
"I was there! With Speed, and Mari." Ouch "I was there, And John was too. I was in heaven, and they all told me to go back. They saw your futures if I didn't. Natalia, you were going to become a unstoppable serial killer."
"Why?"
"Unstoppable, because you know the smarts that go behind solving a crime, and you know what the police look for, and what to avoid. And the only reason you do that is because Ryan was going to kill himself because you accidentally pushed the bomb my way, and Eric was going to kill himself just because the baby and I were gone."
"Eric, you were going to do that." Horatio pointed out.
"Oh well, next June 2nd, we will be looking back on this and laughing." Calleigh sighed, and lay her head down on the pillow.
"Doubt it."
OK, I hope that this was entertaining. You had to know that I was not going to kill Calleigh off though. . right? That would end the story! But anyways, next chapter there is going to be some fun. I think that after this chapter, we need some enlightenment! OK, So life updates:
Of course it's late. . It's midnight here!
My head is getting worse, and it is keeping me awake. . hence the late night updates.
I just emailed my BF saying that it was my dad, and that he has to stay away from his daughter (me) so that is going to freak him out. But don't worry, I will come clean. . .eventually.
I am going shopping tomorrow. . . Yay!
I am totally looking forward to this Monday's episode of CSI Miami! The only thing is. . i have swimming. . so I have to watch it at six am on Tuesday morning!
OK, You know that reviews are like sunshine, you can not funcion with out them! So review review review!
OK. . And here is a little extra:
The bomb blew in there ears like a million guns blowing off...right into your head. But instead of going in, they just just full force, and bounce off. Ryan was the first to hear the alarms, and come into his full senses. His everything hurt, but nothing was broken, or at least not what he could tell.
"Hello?" He heard Natalia call.
"NAT!" He yelled, and got on his feet and ran over to her. Smoke clouded his vision, making four in the afternoon look like midnight. As he came up to her, her cry's became less muffled in with the people's voices trying to find them. They were in the back of the large room, and all the people were staying up front. She had a scratch on her face, one that bled out red, hot blood. This is not going well, and they were all going to die if they did not get people here soon. They could both see that there was red to the left. . . fire. "HELP!" He yelled. His vision was a bit foggy, but it finally clicked into his brain. Eric and Calleigh were still in the rubble. Dead or alive, they had to be found.
"Eric!" Ryan yelled.
"Calleigh." Natalia yelled. They listened and watched closely and intently, and soon, a tall, dirty man came through the rubble.
"Where's Calleigh?" Eric asked. He was cut up, and looked like he had some slight burn on his body.
"I thought she was with you?" Natalia said. Eric shook his head.
"We have to find her." Eric said. "Dose anybody remember where she was standing?"
"Yeah, she was standing over to the side, talking on her cellphone to H."
"But which way is the side? Everything looks he same."
"You guys, come out." A man ordered.
"No, we have to find my wife, Calleigh Duquesne!" Eric yelled back.
"Who? Do you mean Long, blond hair, shortish, pregnant, and green eye's?"
"Yes, That's her?"
"Come with us you guys." He said sadly, as other men came an guided them out. Once it was clear, and the air was fresh, they started asking questions about Calleigh. "I am so sorry you guys, but I don't think that she is going to make it. She has a fatal wound to the head, and that just knocked her out." Tears came pouring out of their eye's.
"No, are you sure?"
"No, she is on the way to the hospital, but her heart is not beating, her lungs are not breathing by themselves, and she is bleeding out through the head. We are going to try to resuscitate her, but the chances are low. . very low indeed." They cried. "But we need to get you to the hospital NOW! If anything is wrong with you, we cannot wait!"
They hopped in the ambulances, and were off to the hospital.
OK, I wanted to add that.. maybe it cleared some thing's up. K, Bye! I will update soon!
